To the Editor of the Exaininer.

Sir,—I beg to call the attention of the City Authorities to the state in which some of our Spring Park Watermen keep their Puncheons. On several occasions | have noticed that the water supplied by some of them, had anything but a pleasant taste or smell, and sometimes foreign matter is in- troduced into their tanks, by, I suppose the boys living in the vicinity of the watermen. This is, no doubt regarded by the aforesaid boys as first-class humor. I believe also, that impurities very often arise from the fact that some of the puneheons have never been cleansed from the time they were first used. I ask, could not the authorities insti- tute a system of inspection so that the citizens, he not peisoned by the use of bad water? This is a matter requiring serious attention, and [ hope it will not be over- looked, Yours truly,

The Cape Tormentine Railway.

(From the Teedin Times. )

A fresh interest is felt in the Eastern section of this County concerning the building of the Cape Tormentine Railway, a work which has been under discussion

for some years. The districts through which the road, if built, must run, are both populous and wealthy, and would

afford considerable local passenger and freight traflic for it; but perhaps the most important argument that can be brought forward to ensure its construction, and one that is maintained by many, is that the Capes route, so-called, is the only ronte by which certain communication may be kept up with Prince Edward Island during the winter season. Itisonly, of course, as a part of the Inter-Colonial system that the Dominion Government can take hold of the work,

The Pacific Ruteer.

(From the Monetary Times. )

A very material modification of the terms on which the Syndicate is to take over the Pacific Railway has recently found its way into print. The statement is that the railway, ten years after its completion, is to revert to the government. This explains what was before obscure in Sir John Macdonald's utterances on the subject; that the new bargain is more favorable for the country than that pre- viously made with Sir Hugh Allan. By that time, the road ought to be run at a profit, and it makes all the difference of the cost whether the road is to be owned by the government or the Syndicate. The principle that railways built by bonuses should ultimately revert to those who found the means to build them is a sound one, andit has been insisted on in the columns of this journal. We were the first in the press to suggest this procedure, and weneed notsay that we think the government has done well in acting upon

it. ar!

The Canadian Dene’.

Pro‘essor McCoun, the distinguished botanist, has a new story to tell about the Canadian desert. The Professor, it will be remembered, has been repeatedly engaged in exploration in the North-west. He has traversed the fertile belt from end to end. He has made several excursions into the region South of the South Saskatchewan, but north of the boundary line. In the summer of 1879, he examined large dis tricts along the Southern verge of the fer- tile belt, and made the discovery that vast breadths of soil deemed wholly unfit for

‘culture, supposed to be alkaline or arid,

were in reality well fitted for farming pur- poses—only requiring to be broken up and seeded to produce excellent crops. The Professor also spent several months of the last summer in exploration in the tract North of the boundary line forming part of the great American desert. And he has bronght back with him the astonishing news, which seems too good to be true, that large portions of that tract have an excellent soil, with a_ plenti- ful supply of water easily obtained at short depths from the — surface. And he expresses the belief that these por- tions will be hereafter noted for their wheat production, while the land of the fertile belt proper farther north, will be mainly devoted to pasturage for cattle. He states likewise that districts which he last year admitted to be sterile and irreclaimable, are neither; but though not of first-rate quality, are capable of producing fair crops. The Professor, in his pictures of the North West, undoubtedly uses his bright colors with a free hand. Yet he speaks of what he has examined, and he is a man of scien- tific attainments and a keen observer, If even half the story he tells is true, Central Canada is a far better country than even well-informed Canadians have fancied it to be. The climate of what is called the desert is, it seems, decidedly more mild than that of the country north of the Sas- katchewan.

The English journals appear to view the election of Garfield as upon the whole satis- factory. Like ourselves on the eve of the election, they think that while a Democra- tic Congress and President might have liberalized trade relations with England, a Republican Congress with Garfield as Pre- sident will be likely to cultivate more friendly relations with the British Govern- ment than a Hancock Government would foster.

According to Dun, Wiman & Co’s circu- lar issued last Friday, the failures in Can- ada for the quarter ending 30th September, 1879, were 417, representing nearly $7,000, 000, while in the same period of this year they are reduced to 130, with liabilities amounting to $1. 219,793. The compara- tive returns for the past nine months show a decrease of 295 in failures and of $17,543, 859 in amount of liabilities.

A Colchester (Conn.) woman was awa- kened at eight o'clock at night by her cat, which had forced its way into her room and was crying lustily. She got up, turned the animal out, and again Jaid down and slept; but soon the cries of the cat were worse than ever. Her son, who was in an ad- joining room, opened a door to turn the cat out, when flames burst in upon him, He closed the door and screamed to his mother to escape. She and her four children had barely time to jump out of the second story windows in their rightclothes before the whole upper story of the large farmhouse was in flames.
